Trump Has A Total Meltdown Over Soon Becoming A Convicted Felon


PoliticusUSA is now wholly independent and ad-free, but we need reader support to keep bringing you news and views that the corporate media won’t, so please subscribe.

The President-Elect has been convicted of 34 felonies and will be sentenced on Friday.

Trump should be celebrating because he will serve no incarceration time, and he will be free to go after the sentencing hearing.

Anyone else who was convicted of nearly three dozen felonies would never get the special treatment that Trump is getting, but Donald Trump thinks that he is entitled to even more special treatment.

Trump posted on Truth Social:

There has never been a President who was so evilly and illegally treated as I. Corrupt Democrat judges and prosecutors have gone against a political opponent of a President, ME, at levels of injustice never seen before. Corrupt judges, or judges so blinded by their hatred of me and my political ideology to “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN,” are making a mockery of the United States Judicial System, and the World is watching in disgust.

Deranged Jack Smith, the evil and sinister prosecutor appointed by Crooked Joe Biden to “take me down,” was found to be illegally appointed by a CORRUPT DOJ and FBI, and all of his many charges against me were dropped or dismissed. His illegal raid of my home, Mar-a-Lago, will go down as one of the “dirtiest tricks” ever perpetrated by one candidate, a dumb as a rock, Sleepy Joe Biden, on another. With all of this said, I still have confidence that the Appellate Courts will bring JUSTICE TO AMERICA!!!

Donald Trump thinks that he is America, but he is not. A majority of voters didn’t vote for Trump.

What Donald Trump wants is his conviction overturned.

Trump’s rant also suggests something else.

BREAKING: Jack Smith’s Top Hatchet Man in Trump Classified Documents Case Abruptly Resigns From Justice Department | The Gateway Pundit


Jay Bratt

Jack Smith’s top hatchet man, Jay Bratt, abruptly resigned from the Justice Department last week, according to Deep State reporter and fake Trump-Russia dossier peddler Michael Isikoff.

Jay Bratt was one of the main prosecutors who spearheaded the Mar-a-Lago raid, he threatened a lawyer defending Trump’s valet driver and admitted the DOJ tampered with evidence.

Via Michael Isikoff for SpyTalk:

A top Justice Department national security prosecutor has become an early casualty of the incoming Trump administration, abruptly resigning from the department last week before incoming appointees can retaliate against him for his key role in special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the former president.

The resignation of Jay Bratt, a career lawyer who served as chief of the counterintelligence and export controls section inside the national security division before being detailed to Smith’s staff, has not been publicly announced by the department.

But three sources familiar with the move described it to SpyTalk as a significant and even chilling event previewing a potential exodus of seasoned government lawyers and FBI agents who fear the wrath of Pam Bondi, Trump ’s pick for attorney general, Kash Patel, his intended nominee for FBI Director, and their expected army of MAGA loyalists in line to fill out top posts.

Recall that Jay Bratt threatened Stanley Woodward, an attorney for Trump’s valet driver Walt Nauta.

Jay Bratt tried to bribe Stanley Woodward and threatened him with a sinking judicial nomination if he didn’t get Walt Nauta to testify against Trump.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported on this bribe.

The DOJ was forced to respond to a complaint alleging prosecutorial misconduct filed under seal in the DC court by Stanley Woodward, the lawyer for indicted Trump aide Walt Nauta.

According to RealClearInvestigations journalist Paul Sperry, the DOJ was forced to respond to a complaint filed under seal about the attempted bribe.

“Upon Mr. Woodward’s arrival at Main Justice, he was led to a conference room where Mr. Bratt awaited with what appeared to be a folder containing information about Mr. Woodward. Mr. Bratt thereupon told Mr. Woodward he didn’t consider to be a “Trump lawyer,” and he further said that he was aware that Mr. Woodward had been recommended to President Biden for an appointment to the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. Mr. Bratt followed up with words to the effect of “I wouldn’t want you to do anything to mess that up,”” according to unsealed records.

In a new twist, President Trump just announced Stanley Woodward will be a top legal advisor in the Trump White House.

Closures and states of emergency are being announced across the Central Plains, Midwest and East Coast regions of the U.S., as a snowstorm is expected to move across several states in those areas in coming days.

The National Weather Service has issued winter storm warnings in parts of Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C.

Six to 12 inches of snow are expected from Ohio to D.C by Monday morning. More than 240,000 customers were without power as of early Monday morning across West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri, according to Poweroutage.us.

Governors of several of the states affected by the snowstorm issued states of emergencies, beginning early last week and continuing into this past weekend.

A motorist drives through the snow near Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport on Sunday in Louisville, Ky. Local forecasts called for heavy snowfall followed by significant accumulation of freezing rain and ice.

“A State of Preparedness enhances the state’s ability to respond swiftly and effectively to potential hazards and threats before they escalate and provides an easy path for information sharing and coordination,” Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said in a statement.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said: “This winter storm will likely cause significant disruption and dangerous conditions on our roads and could cause significant power outages — just 24 hours before it gets dangerously cold.”

Several county school systems across the affected states will be closed Monday, as well as in cities such as Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and Louisville.

In Washington, D.C., Smithsonian museums and the National Zoo will be closed Monday. Non-emergency federal employees in D.C. will work remotely Monday, as offices will be closed.

The winter storms also were affecting flight travel across the U.S. More than 400 flights traveling into or leaving the U.S. faced delays early Monday morning, according to tracking platform FlightAware. More than 1,200 other flights faced cancellations.

Orange County firefighter dies of cardiac arrest amid fire

An Orange County firefighter died Sunday after suffering cardiac arrest at the scene of an early-morning blaze in Laguna Niguel.

The firefighter, Kevin Skinner, spent more than 25 years with the Orange County Fire Authority. Authorities said that while he was searching inside a home on Pointe Royale for residents affected by the fire, he felt unwell and, soon after, collapsed.

“We are deeply grateful for Kevin’s dedication to protecting our community and will never forget his sacrifice,” the Fire Authority said in a post on Facebook.

Before joining the OCFA in 1999, Skinner served in the Navy. He is survived by his wife and three children.

The agency said Skinner was “known for his warm personality and his ability to make everyone feel welcome.”

OCFA Fire Capt. Thanh Nguyen said the cause of the fire at the Laguna Niguel home had not been determined. One resident of the house suffered smoke inhalation but decided not to seek further evaluation.

Circular’s Ring 2 gains a new ECG capability this time around, with heart health a bigger focus for the smart ring in 2025.

The Circular Ring is a smart ring that offers fitness tracking capabilities in an extremely compact package. The second-generation model takes the concept further, with enhancement and more flexibility.

The Ring 2, offered in gold, silver, black, and rose gold finishes, is made from titanium for ruggedness in everyday life, in a new more durable design. For 2025, Circular also makes it easier to get the right fit via Digital Ring Sizing, ensuring the user gets the correct size from the start.

Along with the previously available heart monitoring features, the Ring 2 adds an ECG capability as part of its enhanced sensing capability. The sensors are also claimed to be more accurate than before, giving users an even clearer picture of their health.

The battery life this time lasts for up to eight days, 24 hours per day, including when used for sleep-stage analysis. Recharging is also simpler, thanks to the use of a wireless charging dock.

On the software side, the Kira AI in the companion app has been redesigned to match the new ring aesthetic and to give a more intuitive experience.

The Circular Ring 2 will be available from $380 in February or March, after a crowdfunding campaign in January.

MMAmania.com’s ‘Prospect Of The Month:’ Shimon Smotritsky


The common goal among most up-and-coming regional (or international) mixed martial arts (MMA) prospects is to one day compete for Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Other major promotions such as Bellator MMA, Professional Fighter’s Leagues, and ONE Championship are not far behind. Literally, countless prospects across the globe are all working toward the same career goal, making it difficult to stand out in the sea of competition. As often as possible, MMAmania.com will highlight a different combat sports prospect to keep your eyes on.

Shimon Smotritsky

Age: 24

Height: 6’2”

Weight class: Welterweight

Record: 11-2

Gym: Xtreme Couture

Two losses on Dana White’s Contender Series have not stopped Israel’s Shimon Smotritsky from continuing his MMA journey to make it to the UFC. Some fighters lose on Contender Series and disappear – sometimes they retire or just fight into obscurity.

Smotritsky is more motivated than ever because he knows he will eventually make it to UFC.

“I might have been too young and immature when I fought on the show, but now I am ten times the fighter I was in 2022,” Smotritsky told MMAMania.com. “I train with UFC champions and high-level UFC fighters daily at Xtreme Couture. It has made me a great fighter, and I’m ready to prove that I deserve to be in UFC.”

“Assassin” has won three fights since his last appearance on Contender Series and is fighting for the Fury Fighting Championship (Fury FC) Welterweight title at Fury FC next weekend (Sun., Jan. 12, 2025) against Sam Kilmer.

With a win, Smotritsky will be on a shortlist for a phone call to the big show, and he knows it.

“I feel like this year is gonna be the best year of my life,” Smotritsky said. “I gonna get this belt, and then with God’s help, I will sign with the UFC. I’m just focused, you know, always on my upcoming fight; I’m not trying to plan too far because there are many options on the table, especially with me on a good win streak. After a good win, I’ll get the belt, and we’ll see what happens.”

Smotritsky has all of the talent to be in the UFC right now. He has vicious knockout power with solid wrestling and grappling. Plus, his fight IQ is improving every time he fights. The only knock on the 24-year-old is his activity, but it isn’t entirely his fault because he’s having trouble finding opponents.

But it’s not like he’s sitting on the couch when he’s not fighting. The 24-year-old is always in the gym, getting better.

Check out his highlights below:

Teachers And Administrators Are Leaving Kanye West’s Problematic Donda Academy As Angry Parents Make Headlines

A friend and associate of West’s corroborated the revelation to The Post that some professors at Kanye West’s Donda Academy departed in protest of West’s erratic conduct and anti-Semitic sentiments. According to Malik Yusef, staff members who adhered to the Jewish faith were among those who perished.

I am aware that a few persons of the Jewish faith worked there and that they essentially withdrew their participation or quit due to public pressure from, I am sure, friends and relatives. When your family tells you it’s impossible to stay, you have to go with your team, Yusef, who has characterized himself as an administrator, telling us that he gives out information to the young, developing minds at Donda, stated. The things that Kanye said were utterly ludicrous.

Tamar Andrews, a well-known and highly esteemed education expert, is said to be among the individuals who have purportedly departed the company. TMZ has reported that she is also an influential figure at two Jewish educational institutions. The Post attempted to contact Andrews, but he declined to respond when they called.

Yusef stated to The Post about Kanye West’s anti-Jewish comments, “Critical thinking is what Donda is about, and I don’t think Kanye used critical thinking.” Donda is a critical-thinking game. A request for the school’s statement still needs to be met with a response from the institution.

On Wednesday, Donda Academy Principal Jason Angell sent an email to parents informing them that the school would be closing immediately for the remainder of the 2022-2023 academic year at the decision of our Founder. But just after four hours had passed, an alert was sent stating that classes would be held as scheduled on Thursday and that school had been reinstated.

The world’s most expensive hotel room with 20 rooms – costing £80,000 a night | Travel News | Travel


The world’s most expensive hotel room has 20 rooms and costs £80,000 a night.

Atlantis the Royal Dubai opened in January 2023 and took top spot for the most expensive hotel room in the world, dethroning the Palms Casino Resort’s £60,000 room.

The suite has four bedrooms, a living space, a dining room, a kitchen, a bar and game area, and an office across two floors, as well as a huge terrace with an infinity pool.

The room is across the 18th and 19th floors on the building’s sky bridge, offering views to landmarks such as the Burj Khalifa, Ain Dubai, and the Arabian Gulf.

“We wanted something to be very elegant, very grand, very rich; something that is universally appealing” Timothy Kelly, president of Atlantis, told Architectural Digest. “We hoped the guests would be able to come in and feel at home.”

“You enter through these majestic, vaulted private foyers with a double-height ceiling,” Kelly says. “As you come in, you’ll also notice a lot of decorative pieces, which was really important to us.

“There’s a lot of marble, and it’s very bespoke, large, articulated pieces that are positioned in a way where the stone is serving as art,” Kelly adds.

Calacatta marble largely defines the 12,140-square-foot space: cladding the walls, the floor, and the island in the en suite kitchen. Marble can feel rigid, so textiles like silk draperies, silk wool carpets, and 800 thread-count bed sheets were added to soften harsh edges.

“It’s also about how we accessorize and ‘amenitize’ the space,” Kelly adds, with room dressing including electroplated gold toothbrushes, combs, and razors; Hermès bathroom products; Frette robes; an expansive pillow menu; 146-inch TV; and an exclusive Louis Vuitton Ping-Pong table

“Our clientele are very specific about their needs,” Kelly says. “They’re well traveled, experienced, sophisticated, and very personal about what they’re seeking.”

Though the suite sleeps up to nine adults and four children, all of the rooms on the block it’s situated within can connect to the Royal Mansion, for a total of 20 rooms.

The hotel also has private trainers, gym staff, and can add a gym or massage room to the suite. There is also a private lift and kitchen for clients, to ensure privacy and security.
